Message: [QUOTE="Wechseln, post: 338257, member: 47464"] [HR][/HR] [CENTER][ATTACH type="full" alt="Rekka [Alternative Colors].png"]115607[/ATTACH] (Rekka - Alternative Colors)[/CENTER] [HR][/HR] [CENTER]I have been making an effort at learning Pixel art these last couple of days and got really interested into giving animation a shot thanks to the accessibility of the medium. I decided to go all out from the get go, I was introduced to fighting games as a genre at an early age and have been a fan ever since so It's the topic I probably have the most knowledge of, as such, I decided to use it as an starting point. I didn't want to animate an already existing character so I quickly sketched an original character to work on. [ATTACH type="full" width="214px" alt="Rekka [Sketch].png"]115631[/ATTACH] (Rekka - Concept Art) Meet Rekka, A blank slate with no set lore or personality. As it's obvious at a first glance, Rekka's design was heavily inspired by the Shotokan Archetype as I wanted something simple to start things with. [B]I want to figure out this character on the go as a creative project but I also want to hear the RGT Community ideas and feedback to incorporate into the process and character design.[/B][/CENTER] [HR][/HR] [CENTER][ATTACH type="full" alt="Rekka [Stance Drafts].png"]115649[/ATTACH] (Rekka - Stance Drafts) These drafts show my progress from newest to oldest, Rekka's loose and scrawny design suggested a more aggressive fighting style so I decided on a Muay Thai inspired stance with a carefree feel to it. [ATTACH type="full" width="432px" alt="Rekka [Stance Prototype].gif"]115658[/ATTACH] (Rekka - Animation Draft) My first attempt at conveying Rekka's stance and feel.[/CENTER] [HR][/HR] [CENTER][ATTACH type="full" width="570px" alt="Rekka [Base].png"]115663[/ATTACH] (Rekka - Stance) This is Rekka's final design and first ever sprite, I was heavily inspired by Capcom's Work for the Capcom vs. SNK series for the genetal style. I realized late into the process that Rekka's hands could suggest a more grappling or counter oriented fighting style rather than a than a fast paced striker but as I wanted to figure things out as they came, I feel like i could make her an hybrid character. [ATTACH type="full" width="349px" alt="Rekka [Idle].gif"]115629[/ATTACH] (Rekka - Idle) My first attempt at a full fledged animation and the moment I knew I could actually make this project work. I tried really hard to make her pants as fluid as possible, I still have a lot to learn but I'm proud of how it turned out, even if I plan to return to this one eventually. I am currently thinking about working on Rekka's moveset but I'm not sure wheter to go for a SNK, Capcom or something unique for her (Button number, running vs walking, dodging vs parrying, etc.) I have a plan but I'd love to hear your suggestions, ideas, theories and feedback for the character to fill the gaps! I'll be posting my progress through time, thank you for reading![/CENTER] [/QUOTE]
